Racist. Mods.

They've beat us once in the league in like ten years. And that win was with two goals scored in the 100th and 101st minute. Fuck Chelsea.

Oh we were turbo shit. Better team probably aye, but couldn't finish our dinner. Good luck. The final is 5 days after it. The injury to Yoro is going to make him super cautious with the team selection now.

No bites = no fun.

Also, @healthyaddiction Isak played 8 games in Europe that season, scoring 0. Hojlund played 6 games in the Champions League and scored 5. So...

He joined 24 other players who scored 17+ goals at 21 or under in La Liga. Last season Hojlund joined 25 other players who scored 10+ at 21 or under in the Premier League, and that was his first season in the league and he missed 8 games due to injury.

His last season in La Liga. 2021-2022. Isak was 21/22 years old. 41 apps, 10 goals. Please don't take this as me thinking Hojlund is or will be anywhere near as good as Isak. I don't believe it for a second, but he has time on his side to become far, far better. That time is dwindling though.

If that's how you took it, then fair enough. I thought I explained it for the layman, but evidently not. Hojlund is 3 years younger than Isak. How many goals did Isak score 3 years ago? 10. How many goals has Hojlund got this season when people believe he's been atrocious? 10. It was simply a discussion on potential, and how Hojlund had time on his side.

Not even sure that guy exists.

Some of them probably don't even support Spurs. Even though it's money motivated, the fans are getting more tickets with us. The way it should be.

Don't know about you, but I fucking love BBQ's.

That's not even close to what I said. I'm not close to giving up on him either, I'm just saying if next season is as bad he's in trouble.

Our midfield was wide open under Ten Hag. That's not the case at all under Amorim. The wing backs have been a glaring weakness though. Obviously been some games where we've been poor as well and completely lost the midfield battle, but Bruno Fernandes having the third highest ball recoveries in the league isn't a stat to be sniffed at. It's pretty incredible really. Correct. An awful season.

Not like I'm suggesting Onana should be in the team.

I was absolutely putting in players who I think have had the best season to be honest. This has been one of his best for us. The Guardian summed it up well to be fair. They have him in their team of the year: "In a dismal season for United, Fernandes has been one of the few bright spots. Ruben Amorim’s captain has worn criticism throughout his United career but only Kevin De Bruyne (90) has more assists across all competitions in Europe’s top five leagues than Fernandes (80) since the Portuguese joined United in 2020. Fernandes has eight goals and nine assists this season but what is less noticed is his effectiveness in deeper areas. Only Ryan Christie and Moisés Caicedo have more ball recoveries than Fernandes, who also leads the league (by a distance) in progressive passes (231)." You lads won't know about his effectiveness in deeper areas, or his progressive passes etc. which is fair as you don't watch him. He has been phenomenal this season, which is why I'm scared of losing him because we're just so shit everywhere else despite how amazing he has been.

Would agree with most of what you've said. We want Amorim to change the culture, and he's doing that. Dickheads like Rashford and Sancho are being shifted. New keeper is important. Onana has periods were he was playing well, but he's a total liability and has cost us a ton of points. I think we're OK at CB personally and it's not somewhere we'll be looking at this summer. Just a sign of shit scouting I would assume. He was absolutely signed as a striker, and he's anything but. He definitely has a role as a #10 in this system though and was playing fairly well before his injury. Very tidy football with decent creativity, but ultimately not someone who'll take you to the next level. Correct. Hojlund has went backwards this season. Literally. He spends all of his time with his arse in a defender instead of making runs. Garnacho is getting better as well, but is still very greedy and doesn't pass to Hojlund. Amad is much less selfish, and his return should mean a few more goals for Hojlund.

Both really to be fair. Think the eye test is the ultimate test, but stats are hard to argue with. When a central midfielder is averaging nearly 40 G&A a season for like 8 years straight, when do people take notice? This season has been one of his best for us believe it or not. A season that has also made me feel very sorry for him.

I think a good one might alleviate some of them. Don't think Delap is the answer though. Proper world class strikers like Kane, Lewandowski, Isak, Mbappe etc. are miles out of our reach now. Players like Ekitike and Sesko have big price tags and zero guarantees. Genuinely no idea who we can get that could make a difference right away. I just know we can't have another season with Hojlund as the starter.

I am sure you all would, and I respect that. You know who the better player is though. It could be a long summer.

Hope not. Just give us a seasoned striker in the summer please.

Of course you can. He's the best midfielder in the league. Swap Isak for Hojlund next season and we finish above you. Unfortunately Isak is off to Arsenal though.

That's just his attacking stats mate, which are always elite. His defensive stats can match up to most as well. Even in the likes of ball recoveries I think only Caicedo has won it more. He's just a monster all over the pitch. Brave of you to say it hasn't led to much though. He's saved us from relegation.

I’ll accept. We all love our own shithouses though.
